T-Shirt Records
04.08.2025
Think T-shirts are just soft, comfy tops? Think again! Around the world, people have turned the humble T-shirt into the star of some seriously ridiculous, jaw-dropping, and laugh-out-loud world records.
Here are the funniest and most fascinating T-shirt-related records you never knew existed — but now won’t be able to forget.
1. Most T-Shirts Worn at Once: 260 Layers of Madness
Let’s start with a record that’s all about commitment… and probably heat stroke. Sanath Bandara from Sri Lanka currently holds the Guinness World Record for most T-shirts worn at once: 260.
He looked like a human snowman and gained over 100 pounds in clothing. Try bending your arms in that.
2. The World’s Largest T-Shirt: So Big It Could Cover a Soccer Field
Created by an organization in Romania, this giant T-shirt measures over 108 meters long and weighs more than a small elephant.
It was so big, you could’ve used it as a tent for 50 people. Or one very fashionable building.
3. The Longest T-Shirt Chain: 3,500 T-Shirts in a Row
In the Czech Republic, organizers set up the longest line of T-shirts, connecting more than 3,500 of them in a continuous chain. It stretched over 2 kilometers (more than a mile!).
Imagine explaining to your neighbors why there’s a T-shirt snake running through their backyard.
4. Fastest Time to Fold 10 T-Shirts: 46.6 Seconds
Italian speed-folder Silvio Sabba folded 10 T-shirts in just 46.6 seconds. That’s faster than most people hit snooze in the morning.
This guy folds clothes faster than your mom wishes you did.
5. Most People Wearing T-Shirts with the Same Design: 3,297 Humans in Sync
At a university event in Mexico, 3,297 people wore matching T-shirts to set a record for the most people wearing the same design at once.
It was like a pop concert for graphic tees. A very coordinated one.
6. World’s Most Expensive T-Shirt: $400,000 Sparkle
The Superlative Luxury T-shirt was covered in diamonds and gold. Priced at $400,000, it’s more jewelry than clothing.
Pro tip: maybe don’t wear this to a barbecue. Ketchup is not diamond-friendly.
7. Most T-Shirts Printed in One Hour: 2,139 Tees
In 2017, a team in India printed over 2,000 custom T-shirts in just one hour, using industrial machines and superhero-level coordination.
That’s more shirts than some stores sell in a month. Also: imagine folding them.
8. The Longest T-Shirt Toss: 12.4 Meters
In this very specific Olympic event, someone threw a folded T-shirt over 40 feet through the air and landed it in a box.
T-shirt javelin? New sport idea. Let’s go.
9. Most T-Shirts Donated in 24 Hours: 146,000!
In a charity record that’ll warm your heart (and others), an organization in the U.S. collected over 146,000 T-shirts in just one day for those in need.
T-shirts + kindness = unbeatable combo.
10. Largest Collection of T-Shirts: 22,000+ Shirts (And Growing)
A man named Karl Kuntz from Ohio owns the world’s largest private collection of T-shirts — over 22,000 and counting.
His laundry basket is a myth. Scientists believe it has its own zip code.
Final Stitch: T-Shirts Deserve a Trophy
Turns out T-shirts aren’t just comfy wardrobe staples — they’re world record breakers, fashion statements, fundraising tools, and even sports equipment (sort of).
So whether you wear yours one at a time (unlike Sanath), or collect them by the thousands (hi Karl!), just remember: your T-shirt might be more legendary than you think.
